On a set that resembles an abandoned shipwreck, five characters portrayed the mounting problem of the endless garbage production in Lebanon to visitors to Beirut’s corniche. Their world of plastic, paper and tin explored all aspects of life from love and work to marriage and raising children.

The troupe also visited the cities of Tyre and Saida; the latter being the perfect setting as it is the city that hosts the great trash mountain.

10453 KM2 is a play produced by The BIM Project, written and directed by Camille Brunel Aoun with the cast of Daniel Balabane, Hadi Deaibess, Tony Kahoush, Raghda Mouawad & Kholoud Nasser.
